Reviews
"There were several pieces of information that were valuable, even to someone with a different education background. No doubt there is even more valuable information for readers who are not in such a specific specialty as nursing, but instead are education generalists." (Metapsychology, March 2010)
"Overall, this book provides a great deal of information regarding teaching and learning practices, a pedagogical approach, and a touch of the application of research.... Helpful pearls of wisdom within." (Metapsychology Online Reviews)
